  An in depth article on permaculture and politics titled "Permaculture
Politics - New Pythagorean Links" has just been published on the PIL web
site at

litics-new-pythagorean-links
  "Synopsis
  This paper considers the history of the philosophical ideas and political
connotations of the environmental design system called Permaculture by the
co-originators Bill Mollison and David Holmgren.

  Analysis of Mollison and Holmgren’s major publications show shared, joint
themes; of a change philosophy from consumption to production, an ethical
framework, a primary urban focus, the taking of personal responsibility,
developing self-reliance and regional self-sufficiency, creating
eco-communities and intentional global affiliations.

  Mollison posits that a new tribalism would become politicised through
local lobbying, or by forming the party.  He describes bioregionalism
organisation as this new model and possibility.  Is a resource index of ten
primary categories a political agenda?"
